Tall? Check. Dark? Hell yes. Handsome? You decide. Beckham Finnigan-Thomas. Hogwarts, Gryffindor House. He/his/him.

Ryan pulled his wand out of his waistband. “Fine, fine. I wasn’t going to let you burn up in there.” He did a simple water summoning spell, and put out the water with a flick of his wrist. 

“Doubtful,” Beckham replied, rubbing the ash off himself. Some of his clothes were left singed; he had his wand in his hand, but he didn’t feel like using magic to repair it; he wasn’t sure if he should be using magic this close to muggles anyway. 

He stepped out of the stall, looking somewhat haphazard and in a bit of a foul mood after that. “Look, I’m gonna head back to the dorms -- you have fun, okay?”

“I’m not sure! I’ve never heard of a wizard being responsible for an amusement park ride… but maybe water slides are their specialty!” Vegas followed the direction of his finger with a giggle. Muggles certainly tended to perform their own kinds of magic every day, but it was always fun to discover where the wizarding world had left its mark on the unsuspecting muggle world. 

“I mean – this school is built into a resort, it’s not entirely unlikely that someone knows what’s up and got some assistance of the magical variety.”

“Well... maybe we should go see for ourselves?” Beckham suggested. But instead of asking someone or referring to some textbook in the library, he had a better idea. “How do we get up there? The same way the muggles do or some... other wizarding way? Honestly -- if there’s anything magical built into these slides, these might as well work like floo powder...”

ryanfdouglas:

Ryan came out a moment later in swimming trunks, wand stuffed in the waistband. He saw the smoke billowing from the other stall and couldn’t help but laugh. Someone wasn’t so good at transfiguration. 

“You okay in there man?” he called, leaning down to peek under the door. He saw the fire, and considered getting water, but had nothing to put it in. “Keep stomping, that seems to be working really well,” he said sarcastically. 

“Or you know, you could help!” Beckham picked up on the sarcasm, not entirely sure he wanted to spend any more time with how much of a jerk this guy was being, even if he was the one embarrassing himself in the stall. “Are you a wizard or not?”

[beckham--finniganthomas]

ryanfdouglas:

“I’m up for a little transfiguration,” he said, walking into a bathroom stall.

Beckham let himself into a stall, fishing around his pockets for his wand. Once it was in his hand, he realized that he didn’t actually know the spell to transfigure his clothes -- but it didn’t seem all that difficult.

Except it was; in all of his excitement, Beckham had forgotten that his worst subject at Hogwarts was Transfiguration. Smoke billowed from his stall, as he tried to stamp out the flames from his clothes.

vegasxxrenee:

“I’m not sure! It certainly looks that tall… but everything tends to look tall to me.” Vegas grinned, noting the height difference between the two of them as she had to step back and shield her face from the sun to look him in the eye. “I saw it took most people around twenty seconds! They’re so fast…”

“Funny -- most things are real short to me, except for that --” Beckham tried tracing the slide with his finger pointed at the sky. “Twenty seconds? That’s faster than some broomsticks! You don’t think they used magic on these things, do you? Maybe the wizards helped them a little?”

ryanfdouglas:

“We could go to the bathrrom and summon some from in there.” Ryan said, catching up to him while running out of breath.

“Yeah, sounds good!” Beckham turned to look for one, then pointed. “There.” 

He tried to walk casually into the bathroom. “Instead of summoning a swim trunks -- maybe we should transfigure our clothes instead?”

“Ice doesn’t have an agenda – it just melts.”

“It freezes first.”

“Unless it was already frozen to begin with.”

[beckham--finniganthomas]

ryanfdouglas:

“You sure you don’t want some swimming trunks?” he called, racing after him.

“I mean -- should we summon some?” Beckham stopped for a moment, realizing that his overexcitement in finally getting onto a waterslide. “I dunno if we should -- there are muggles here, y’know?”

[beckham--finniganthomas]

ryanfdouglas:

Ah. Well, he got that one wrong, but he’d have to learn to live with it. If anything, Ryan was relieved to hear Beckham wasn’t a pureblood. He couldn’t trust them completely after all. “Let’s go on the yellow one!” he said, pointing to the biggest slide there was.

“Fine -- I’ll race you to the top, yeah?” Beckham heaved his school bag onto his shoulder, starting to climb some stairs that Iooked like it led to the top, almost forgetting that he was in muggle company and still dressed like he was going to school. 

[beckham--finniganthomas]

vegasxxrenee:

“I hear the biggest one is nine stories tall!” The blonde had been standing and observing the slides out of curiosity rather than fear. She hadn’t been to a water park since before Katanohk, though the past summer she had visited the inflatable obstacle course off of Parc Jean Drapeau. “There’s also one where you race to the bottom and they time you!”

“Nine stories! Do you think that one’s that high?” Beckham pointed to the sky, trying to trace the slide’s path to the bottom, but he was blinded by the sun. “How long do you think it’ll take to get to the bottom?”

[beckham--finniganthomas]

ryanfdouglas:

Ryan looked at him and let out a little scoff. “Purebloods,” he muttered. “Can’t live with them, can live perfectly fine without them.” In reality, he was amazed as well, but he liked giving others a hard time. “Wanna go on one?”

“Excuse me?” Beckham asked politely. He decided to correct the boy, mostly because that seemed to be such a common misconception, even on an international stage. “I’m not a pureblood... but yeah, yeah, I’ll go on one! Where do we start?” His eyes got dizzy just looking up at the twists and turns of the waterslides.

     remy looked at the building and shrugged at the boy’s statement. she didn’t think so, but she also knew a bit about building engineering because of her father. engineers were important people. “ oh, well not really. i mean, they’ve figured out a lot about buildings and the way the either moves and stuff. my dad sometimes works on buildings. though not often. “ 

“Oh.” Beckham sounded a little embarrassed when he finally spoke to someone, especially at the awkward junction of being close to a waterslide and away from the wizarding parts of the school. The girl seemed to know what she was talking about much more than he was. “Well then, um...” 

Beckham was left a tad speechless; he didn’t want to seem like an idiot, especially at his awe at the buildings above. “If your dad doesn’t work on buildings often, then how do you know so much about them?”

[beckham--finniganthomas]

“It’s sort of insane they can build so high without magic, isn’t it?” Beckham glanced at the towering waterslides above them; he had finally wandered onto the muggle parts of the hotel and was sort of scared to admit he was lost. The only reason why he knew he was talking to a fellow student was because of the runic bracelet.

“Well, we are graduating this ear. May as well get into the mindset of all work and little play?” James joked, attempting to ease into the conversation. “But bright side is is that we practically have a year of vacation before that?”

“I don’t know if it’s really a vacation if we’re gonna be competing...” Beckham wasn’t even sure yet if he wanted to put his name into the competition; he was trying to gauge and see which if his other Hogwarts friends were going to enter. “Although Maladh’s been relaxing. Have you seen the waterslides yet?”

“We need to remember what’s important in life: Friends, waffles and work. Or waffles, friends, work. It doesn’t matter. But work is third.”

“You couldn’t think of more important things than work?” Beckham sighed, taking a seat near James. “Work is the last thing I want to be doing after that literal catchase.”
